People look for the intensity of the black color on the banded caterpillars, that are black and brown, or they compare the ratio of the black to brown coloration on the bodies of the caterpillars. If there is more brown than black, they predict it will be a milder winter, and, if there is more black than brown, there will be a very harsh winter.
The last answer was most obviously wrong. A 'Woolly Worm' is clearly a worm that has just got a little bit hyper and rolled around in someones discarded bum fluff. You can de-wool a 'Wooly Worm' by simply sprinkling some talcum powder around it. The worm will then live a happy successful life and possibly buy several motor homes.
a worm is a brown colour with a line of black. the black is its food digestion pipe.
Based on the description provided, the worm might be a flatworm, such as a planarian. Planarians are known for their dark brown coloration, large triangular head, and flat body shape. They can grow up to 8 cm in length and usually have a diameter around 1 mm.
There are a lot of snakes that are brown with yellow stripes. A garter snake can be brown with yellow stripes, as well as some king snakes, and worm snakes.
People who believe woolly worms can predict the weather think that a narrow red-brown band means a harsh winter. The wider the red-brown band is, the milder the coming winter is supposed to be.
What does a white wooly worm mean?
when a wooly worm caterpillar's black bands are under than the brown one, what weather does this predict?
The wooly worm does not affect weather. They are indicators of weather because they are hardly ever seen in warm months such as July or June. We always see them in fall in a hurry to get somewhere. They are going into hibernation. So when you see a wooly worm headed somewhere during a month such as October or November that means cold temperatures are coming. ----- People look for the intensity of the black color on the banded caterpillars, that are black and brown, or they compare the ratio of the black to brown coloration on the bodies of the caterpillars.

In some places in the world and in the US, such as the New England states and especially in North Carolina (where the Woolly Worm Festival is held with activities such as caterpillar races and weather predictions), it is believed that the larvae of the Isabella tiger moth (Wooly Worm or Woolly Bear caterpillar) can indeed provide these predictions. People look for the intensity of the black color on the banded caterpillars, that are black and brown, or they compare the ratio of the black to brown coloration on the bodies of the caterpillars. If there is more brown than black, they predict it will be a milder winter, and, if there is more black than brown, there will be a very harsh winter.According to the web page of the Woolly Worm Festival [see link below in the related links section]:"...the woolly worm has a pretty good weather prediction rate. Scientists would prefer not to acknowledge it, but the woolly worm has a 80-85% accuracy rate for predicting the weather. The worm has held its record for accuracy for more than 20 years."
